But the curiously worded contract left the former president's own attorney Alina Habba—a rising star in his orbit—wide open to getting sued herself.
Trump and his top advisers are already a magnet for legal trouble. Habba, who already settled a discrimination lawsuit by her former legal secretary, is no exception. But now she faces the wrath of Alice Bianco, who was once a waitress at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster, the real estate tycoon's summertime abode.

Donald Trump may generate daily headlines with his bombastic statements and myriad legal troubles, but of all the important 2024 election-related issues worth discussing there is one in particular that deserves highlighting, according to The New Abnormal co-host Andy Levy.
The Trump campaign was in full damage control last week after the former president called in to CNBC and suggested making cuts from Medicare and Social Security, which offer financial care to retired Americans or those with a disability.

Jay Paul/ReutersThe MAGA-friendly federal judge who keeps siding with Donald Trump in his Mar-a-Lago classified records case has forced prosecutors to make a stark choice: allow jurors to see a huge trove of national secrets or let him go.
U.S. District Judge Aileen M. Cannon's ultimatum Monday night came as a surprise twist in what could have been a simple order; one merely asking federal prosecutors and Trump's lawyers for proposed jury instructions at the upcoming trial.
But as she has done repeatedly, Cannon used this otherwise innocuous legal step as yet another way to swing the case wildly in favor of the man who appointed her while he was president.

Photo Illustration by The Daily Beast / Getty The eternal victim of our time, Donald Trump, wants you to know that he is a deeply misunderstood man. The former president, who incited the violent attack on the U.S. Capitol, is offended that anyone would think that he was talking about violence when he used the word "bloodbath."
On social media Monday morning, Trump lashed out at the "Fake News Media, and their Democrat Partners in the destruction of our Nation," for distorting what he said at a rally Saturday in Vandalia, Ohio.

RumbleOn the eve of Peter Navarro's first day in prison, the former White House aide to Donald Trump maintained Monday that his four-month sentence is a worthwhile "sacrifice," considering the Americans who have died for their nation.
Appearing on Donald Trump Jr.'s podcast the same day the Supreme Court quashed his last-chance request to delay his sentence, Navarro felt it appropriate to refer to those who have "lost their lives for the defense of this country" while describing his own situation.
"Men and women of America throughout our history have shed blood—lost their lives—for the defense of this country, the defense of what we stand for, the defense of our values, the defense of our Constitution," Navarro told Trump Jr. "And for me, it's a much smaller sacrifice to be willing to go to prison, as I now have been ordered to do, to defend what is really one of the most important principles of the Constitution, which is the constitutional separation of powers."
